On the issue of why former Tigers players are seemingly “excelling at their new clubs”…… I don’t see why people are getting so worked up about this - for a whole host of reasons. Firstly, how true is it? Yes, there are some former players who have left us that are playing well, but also many...

They may as well be playing NFL with some of the forward passes Manly are throwing.

Problem may be he gets smashed when he takes hit ups and driven backwards forcing loss of momentum and slow ptb. Also loses his shit way too often in the engine room.

Developing well. Lets not rush him. We don’t want him to repeat the Liddle path. He needs to step back into KOE and keep building fitness and strength.

If we are serious about next season these are the changes that must happen: We need to move on from Klem and replace him with an NRL prop from outside. If we lose Uto (likely to happen IMO) we need to replace him as well with another aggressive middle. We also need an edge player who can make a...

Klem and Bateman won’t get dropped however as a message I’d like to see them both demoted to the bench. My side next week: Bula Staines AD Olam Alaimalo/Toa (depending on today’s game form) Bud Galvin Uto Api Twal Sam F Seyfarth or Paps if fit Pole Latu Sione F Klem Bateman

Anybody watching the KOE game today? Would be great to get some opinions and a run down. I’m not able to see it this arvo but would love to know how some of the boy's go. In particular Bud, Toa, Alaimalo as potentials for next week.

Some thoughts on players today…. Sione F was good - needs to improve his passive D. Sam F played well for the most part Latu F - still don’t see what the hype is but obviously needs more time Galvin tries hard but sometimes too much. Defensively weak too often. Needs to settle down. Don’t...

As much as the effort was there today there were some glaring deficiencies in our game that made it too difficult to get the win. 1) our first contact in D as usual is too soft, we get numbers in a tackle and still don’t dominate. This causes us to be left on the ground allowing quick ptbs and...

The guys that will hurt us today will be Wighton and Cooke. If we can improve our marker D to stop Cooke getting a roll on and take away room from Wighton, we can win. If we don’t move up and be aggressive in D, it could be a very long day.

I think there was one earlier in the year - Latu got very few minutes and not sure if they were all actually on the field together at any time.

Many giving the selections made for this week’s 17 a hard time. But realistically who else is there to possibly pick- Naden? Matamua? Porter? Toa? Sullivan? The same guys that have been tried before and considerably bagged for their efforts? It seems Paps and Tupou, as well as Olam, Seyfarth...

Rumours are that Farah will resign from his coaching role at the end of this season with Richo trying to bring in more experienced support for Benji. Hope it’s true- certainly a good move to prop up the coaching staff.

Yep Hal, but only he can answer that question. That’s pretty much my point. I can’t say that he’s shown any real consistency in his performances even well before all these distractions. Maybe he needs to stand in front of a mirror and ask himself if he really wants to have a long career in the...

When does a player (especially one who puts himself up as a future leader and who is on proposed big $), actually take responsibility for his performances on the field? It’s not on the club or the coach all the time - i think it’s on the players as individuals especially when it is effort...

The Roosters cup team played like our NRL team - they were horrible with zero intensity. They got a similar outcome and made our guys look good. The test is when the opposition makes it hard and you have to dig deep and every player has to perform at 110%. I’m not convinced about any player...

For those looking for answers this is a pretty strong indication that the quality of your players is critical. When a team has a few of their best missing and look all of a sudden quite ordinary. Happens to most teams other than the true top squads - have even seen it at the Panthers this year...

In other news…… Kevin Walters storming out of his dressing room after the game mad at his players fir their inconsistent efforts in their close loss last night. Meninga commentating that they aren’t winning because of problems with their roster rather than execution issues. Wow I wish we had...

Patience is tough isn’t it! This whole new path with Benji and then Richo is still very early in the making. As fans we want results so it’s hard to watch the process. As pointed out, Gould did take a few years to get results at the Dogs with the changes they initiated. We must keep the faith...

Missed this comment from Doueihi at the time. Wow this bloke has such an inflated opinion of himself - it’s embarrassing. Funny thing is, I was so hoping that he’d come back with all the right stuff after his first game, but it didn’t take long for his past typical form to resurface. Talk...
